Mexican Chicken Stew with and White Beans

When Mike turned 57 a few weekends ago, we headed over to my son’s house to watch a football game and celebrate.

Since nothing makes the football fans in my house happier than a big pot of chili, I set about hunting down a new twist on this football favorite.

Mexican Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew

When I ran across this Butternut Squash, Chicken, and White Bean Chili recipe from CDKitchen I knew just what was going into my stock pot.

I was intrigued by the idea of adding squash to the mix.

Even though the pot was packed with meaty chunks of chicken, tender white beans, sweet potatoes and enough Mexican spices to give it a kick, I think white chicken chili must be a girl thing, because the guys weren’t impressed.

In fact, I’m not sure my daughter-in-law was either, so maybe it was just me – I liked it.

I decided to change the name of this chili recipe to a Mexican chicken stew. I think it would have gone over better with my football men if they weren’t expecting a pot full of chili beans and beef.

Fun dish! But you might be onto something with the name thing. Even though pork in chili is great, I always kind of think of it more like stew. Just like this dish. ;- D Anyway, really terrific stuff – thanks.

Aww I know the feeling! We had my husband’s brother and his group of friends (5 other guys + 1 girl) over for a dinner last Saturday. Needless to say my healthy buffalo chicken chili didn’t get a lot of action but the beefy chili did! I think it looks delicious and I love the mix of ingredients.
